12/11/2024All our students have been invited to take part in an inspiring competition designed to encourage students across the country to choose a poem, learn it by heart and perform it out loud.
Mrs Watson launched the in-school competition for Poetry By Heart with year group assemblies last week and ‘learn a poem in 30 minutes’ in tutor time sessions. Mrs Watson, Mr Wakely, and Mr Cook all recited poems to show students how joyful poetry can be, but also how important it is to overcome your fears. Mr Cook’s performance of the Jabberwocky was the highlight of the week!
All students are welcome to enter the competition and anyone that is interested, should join the Google Classroom using the code from their tutor, or the student bulletin, and explore the Poetry By Heart website for ideas. With two different competitions to enter and the deadline not until 16th December, there's plenty of time to get reciting. WHS finalists will be announced in January and following the in-school finals, our winners will be put forward to the national Poetry by Heart competition, the finalists for which will be invited to compete at the Shakespeare's Globe next summer.
This is a really exciting opportunity to be creative, collaborate with others, learn new skills, and potentially perform on stage at the Globe!
So whether it's Auden or Elliot, Kipling or Dahl, find one you love and learn it be heart. 💛
